Taking out hellish
creatures—not a problem. Armed with blessed silver hollow-points and the
ability to manipulate magick, he’s ready for anything—except betrayal
he never saw coming…Deacon Chalk knows the biggest danger in
fighting monsters is becoming one. Just another day at the office for
your friendly neighborhood occult bounty hunter. If keeping three
helpless were-dog children safe means battling a malevolent trio of
witches by any means necessary, so be it. If that means partnering with a
ruthless government agent to stay one step ahead of the allies and
friends he must now suspect, he’s not going to cry about it. The only
way Deacon can save humans and shape-shifters alike is to embrace a
power beyond his imagining, putting his team at stake—and his soul on
the line…

I do not knowif I shouldwritesomething aboutBlood
andMagick, the third part of the
seriesDeaconChalk, OccultBountyHunter.
Not ina bad way, but because I thinkit wouldbe
superfluous. The recommendationto
read it, I think it wouldbe
enough.

Should I tell youaboutJamesR.Tuck’s style?It is the sameas inthe first twovolumes,vigorouslyboldand full ofadrenaline.

Should I tell you about the topic? Notmy typetogivespoilersand wherewouldbe your pleasureto discover theadventures’closure(at least for now) of the terriblebounty
hunter? An ideaaboutthetopic you’ll findin
the book’s description and it’squiteenough.

To those wholovedthe
firstpartsIguarantee that theywill not be disappointed,
on the contrary, they’ll havesomeadventureseven
moreincredible. The volume isa corollary ofthe seriesand everything iscondensedandskillfullyhandledby the authorto havea terrible effect.

JamesR.Tuckhas preparedalot ofsurprisessoyoucannotcomplainthatitis atheme
with variations. If I tell you that the first twobooks arelikea roller-coasterat
full speedout of control, but the
third one exceeds them in
intensity, what you’llsay?

We mustacknowledge the merits ofthe author tobeableto developthe series inall directions andat all levels. OnethingI couldreproach him.And that is the rememberingfrom time to timeof moments from the one or other characters’ past.Of course, the explanation would bethat not allreadersread theseriesfromstart to the end(whichseemsabsurdevenif bookscan be readseparately)andin
these conditionsthe initiativehas

This is a world where vampires run nightclubs.A world where the pretty lady at the coffeeshop may very well be a Were-spider.A world where Things go bump and grind in thenight.A world where, just out of sight, around thecorner you might walk past, lurks a Nightmarehaving a bad day.
